Hello everyone, If you have the need for authoring slides with embedded code and/or animated HTML, I wrote a DSL wrapper for the revealjs.com framework that you might find useful. It is also great for presenting Kotlin Playgrounds. I am a big fan of using reveal-js for doing slides, but using Kotlin for authoring slides is far superior to drowning in pages of JS and HTML tags. You can see a demo at: https://kslides.com I would appreciate any feedback. Cheers, Paul

What to Expect From the Kotlin Team in 2022–23: Key Projects and Productivity Features Kotlin is commonly used for writing server-side, multiplatform, and Android apps, but there are tons of lesser known use cases. Among them are Minecraft plugin development, writing software for robots, or even creating PowerPoint presentations using Compose for Desktop. The number of use cases to address and potential improvements to implement is huge, and it’s […]

I've just updated kotlin-null-defaults to version 0.2.0 🎉 It's a Kotlin compiler plugin that works on all backends and allows platform callers (as in Java or JS callers) to call any kotlin function annotated with

@NullDefaults

with

null

for a default argument and the function replaces that argument with the default value. Check the repo for more examples E.g:

// Kotlin
fun test(value: Int = 42) {
    println(value)
}
// Java
public static void main(String[] args){
  TestKt.test(null); // Prints 42
}

Try it today:

plugins {
  ...
  id("io.github.kyay10.kotlin-null-defaults") version "0.2.0"
}

Introducing Kotlin Build Reports Starting with Kotlin 1.7.0, you can create build reports for Kotlin compiler tasks. Reports contain durations of different compilation phases and reasons why incremental compilation could not be used. This functionality is still Experimental, so the list of metrics may change. TRY BUILD REPORTS Build reports are useful when you want to investigate issues with […]
